From: Piotr Krysiuk <piotras@gmail.com> stable inclusion from linux-4.19.119 commit f511dc75d22e0c000fc70b54f670c2c17f5fba9a CVE: CVE-2020-12114 -------------------------------- A race condition between threads updating mountpoint reference counter affects longterm releases 4.4.220, 4.9.220, 4.14.177 and 4.19.118. The mountpoint reference counter corruption may occur when: * one thread increments m_count member of struct mountpoint [under namespace_sem, but not holding mount_lock] pivot_root() * another thread simultaneously decrements the same m_count [under mount_lock, but not holding namespace_sem] put_mountpoint() unhash_mnt() umount_mnt() mntput_no_expire() To fix this race condition, grab mount_lock before updating m_count in pivot_root().
